In primary schools in Muertai, Inner Mongolia, and junior high schools in Ningnan County, Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture, Lenovo has donated "smart classrooms" based on smart screens and tablet computers, so that children in remote mountainous areas can simultaneously enjoy high-quality educational resources. There are many similar projects.

In 2021, Lenovo Future Center became the national science popularization education base. 162 science popularization activities were held that year, and the spark of science and technology radiated to hundreds of primary and middle schools in less-developed areas of Guangxi, Guizhou, Yunnan, Xinjiang, Chongqing and other provinces and cities, planting the spark of science and technology for the future of the motherland. In the future, Lenovo will continue to practice its original aspiration with actions, and enable social responsibility with science and technology.
